a True King OF the Forest.

The tanned skin of huge African
lion, said to be the largest animal of
its kind ever killed by white man, has
just been made into rug for gentle
man of this city. The owner was one
OF a hunting party that captured the
animal last August on a mountain pre-
cipice near the Sand River, East Africa,
about one hundred and eighty miles
back from the coast line at Delagoa
Bay. The lion killed q native Zamala,
who was trying to beat him out of the
bush so that the hunters could get n
shot at him, and the owner of the skin
brought home the skull of the poor fell
low as another souvenir of the exciting
chase. From the nostrils to the tip OF
the tail the skin measures ten feet three
inches. 1t is beautifully colored, and
all the claws and teeth are preserved
perfectly. Two of the teeth are four
inches long The head measures about
two feet eight inches across the fore
head, with all the muscles strongly
brought out. There is big hole in the
skin from the bullet that pierced the
animals heart. The owner of the skin
left Africa with it before the hot season
came on. 1t was packed in lime to
preserve it until the traveller reached
London, and was covered with arsenic
soap for further transportation to this
city. The lion-skin has been surround.
ed with twenty-one bear-skins, the
whole forming rug twenty-one feet
long and thirteen feet wide, enough to
carpet large room. The skin has
been the object of a good deal of in
terest and curiosity to men in the trade.

An antiquarian bookseller, Sig. Hoep-
Ii, in Milan, has in his possession "A He
brew manuscript the authenticity of
which is not doubted by those who have
seen it, and which is almost of price
less value. The manuscript contains
Maimonides' "Yad Hachazaka," and
appears to be the identical one which
was bought by the famous philosopher
and Spanish Minister of Finance, Isaac
Abarbanel, for no less sum than $4,000
ducats, as having at one time been in pos
session of Maimonides himself. On the
last page is written in Hebrew charac-

broken heart in remembrance of blessed
days, Isaac Abarbanel, the humblest
among men. May God grant help.

The Driven WeIl-What Are You CO.
ing to do About Ity
A. G. KLEYF.

That is the question we are every day
called on to answer by letter. We have an
swered it twice a month in the Grange Vis-
itor for the last three months and we have
no time TO continue answering by private
letter.
Until the 9th inst, our individual opinion
was given az to what we thought the state
grange would do about this matter. We ad-
vised that no payment of royalty be made of
any amount whatever. We assumed as prob
able that the executive committee of the
state grange would endorse the opinion we
expressed and at the meeting of the COM
mittee, held in Lansing on the 9th inst, our
course was endorsed by the committee. The
matter was discussed at length and there was
entire agreement that the course adopted by
the state grange in 1881 was right and should
be adhered to. This cheeky attempt of q
syndicate of New York lawyers to draw sew
eral millions of collars from the owners and
users of driven wells must be resisted. The
decision of the supreme court of the United
States In May last, on the claim of n. w.
Green has not been well established by the
court of last resort. The first case appealed
divided the bench of eight iudges evenly
four sustaining and four denying the validity
of the patent. IN the other cases passed
upon by the court the evidence was far from
conclusive, as shown by the fact that three
judges dissented. The state grangs of Mich
igan, i'll 1881 and 80, collected a mass of
evidence that has not been used in defense
of the rights of the people, and until driven
from the position then taken and never for a
moment relinquished. we shall refuse to pay
royalty to n. w Green or his representa-
tives.
If a case goes from Michigan to the supreme
court of the United States it will be defended
on its merits. Nor will it be conceded as in
the last case made up and passed upon 10y
the court that ten dollars is reasonable
royalty on each driven we'll. That scheme of
appropriating several millions of dollars has
more good money i'll it than Michigan peo-
pie can accept without a contest.
The following resolution adopted 10y the
executive committee at its late meeting is
significant and we think will meet with the
hearty endorsement of all those interested
in driven wells:
Res0lDed, That the state grange of Mich
igan employ counsel and make legal resist
ance to each and every demand made 10y
n. w. Green, or his authorized agents, for
the collection of royalty on driven wells in
this state, and pledges itself to defend IN the
courts each contributor of one dollar to lis
defense fund.-Grange Visitor.
